> Foreign Secretary Ed Milliband says the UK had to “call out” Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank before it became too late to save a two-state solution. The UK has announced a ban on imports from Israeli settlements there, where Israel has built about 160 settlements housing 700,000 people.
